This extension defines two new structures and a function to assign SMPTE
|
|
(the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) 2086 metadata and
|
|
CTA (Consumer Technology Assocation) 861.3 metadata to a swapchain.
|
|
The metadata includes the color primaries, white point, and luminance range
|
|
of the mastering display, which all together define the color volume that
|
|
contains all the possible colors the mastering display can produce.
|
|
The mastering display is the display where creative work is done and
|
|
creative intent is established.
|
|
To preserve such creative intent as much as possible and achieve consistent
|
|
color reproduction on different viewing displays, it is useful for the
|
|
display pipeline to know the color volume of the original mastering display
|
|
where content was created or tuned.
|
|
This avoids performing unnecessary mapping of colors that are not
|
|
displayable on the original mastering display.
|
|
The metadata also includes the pname:maxContentLightLevel and
|
|
pname:maxFrameAverageLightLevel as defined by CTA 861.3.
|
|
|
|
While the general purpose of the metadata is to assist in the transformation
|
|
between different color volumes of different displays and help achieve
|
|
better color reproduction, it is not in the scope of this extension to
|
|
define how exactly the metadata should be used in such a process.
|
|
It is up to the implementation to determine how to make use of the metadata.

=== Issues
|
|
|
|
1) Do we need a query function?
|
|
|
|
*PROPOSED*: No, Vulkan does not provide queries for state that the
|
|
application can track on its own.
|
|
|
|
2) Should we specify default if not specified by the application?
|
|
|
|
*PROPOSED*: No, that leaves the default up to the display.
